Description of Enter the Dragon:
The last film completed by Bruce Lee before his untimely death, Enter the Dragon was his entrée into Hollywood. The American-Hong Kong coproduction, shot in Asia by American director Robert Clouse, stars Lee as a British agent sent to infiltrate the criminal empire of bloodthirsty Asian crime lord Han (Shih Kien) through his annual international martial arts tournament. Lee spends his days taking on tournament combatants and nights breaking into the heavily guarded underground fortress, kicking the living tar out of anyone who stands in his way. The mix of kung fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and James Bond intrigue (the plot has more than a passing resemblance to Dr. No) is pulpy by any standard, but the generous budget and talented cast of world-class martial artists puts this film in a category well above Lee's primitive Hong Kong productions. Unfortunately he's off the screen for large chunks of time as American maverick competitors (and champion martial artists) John Saxon and Jim Kelly take center stage, but once the fighting starts Lee takes over. The tournament setting provides an ample display of martial arts mastery of many styles and climaxes with a huge free-for-all, but the highlight is Lee's brutal one-on-one with the claw-fisted Han in the dynamic hall-of-mirrors battle. Lee narrows his eyes and tenses into a wiry force of sinew, speed, and ruthless determination. --Sean Axmaker
Enter the Dragon Reviews:
Played poorly 
2009-11-02 - I don't know if this disc was not prepared correctly or what, but it did not play well for me.
Enter The Dragon 
2009-10-14 - A great way to start your collection of Bruce Lee's works, and one you will enjoy for many years to come!
The movie that spawned 1000 dojos
2009-10-13 - A true classic in HD. Lots of extras, most of them on the DVD edition. It's worth the upgrade if you are a fan.
Highly desired by golden women !!
2009-09-14 - Purchased for 88 year old aunt. Quick shipment, great price. Would purchase other movies in the future. She loved the movie...
worth buying in blu ray
2009-09-12 - i was excited to see this on blu ray for $10 and picked it up not expecting too much improvement over the dvd. happily, i was wrong. the transfer looks and sounds wonderful. the extras are fantastic including almost all of the footage bruce lee filmed for the game of death.
i recommend this to anyone who likes bruce lee.
